'I am enjoying this situation. So what?'
'Is killing my enemies with a smile on my face, such a big deal?'
'I am just getting rid of them before they get rid of me. Is that wrong of me?'
Multiple emotions swarmed his head causing Zhao Luo to question if what he was doing was right.
If it was the time period where Zhao Luo was from, then things would have been different.
Zhao Luo looked confused as he was overcome by a distinct emotion that was whispering to him that the murders he committed were justifiable.
'Tap, Tap.'
Right then Senior Cutie and Pi Hao placed their hands on Zhao Luo's shoulder.
Senior Cutie glared at the leader who had trapped Zhao Luo with just his words.
"Little Brother, did you really fall for some frantic words coming out from the dirty mouth of that bastard?"
Zhao Luo was pulled out from his confused state as Senior Cutie's voice entered his ears.
"Snap out of it."
Senior Cutie shouted and finally, Zhao Luo felt a calmness returning to his mind.
'I am just excited to fight strong enemies.'
Zhao Luo changed the whole point of the discussion.
"Maybe the feeling I am going through is just my excitement that is rushing out as I face my enemies without holding back, without anyone judging me, and without any rules. That doesn't mean I am killing blindly."
Zhao Luo answered slowly while the others listened.
He remembered the tournament period where he could only throw the disciples that he fought with or cut a limb of theirs at most but even in the training zone, the elders were ready to treat such injuries.
Unlike the present moment where it was an all-out fight, with their lives on the line.
Senior Cutie smiled as Zhao Luo was back to normal.
'I feel ashamed.'
Pi Hao removed his hand as he didn't have the time to console Zhao Luo any more than that.
He was facing his inner shame as he couldn't believe that he had backed off with fear of an enemy.
Xiao Yu had also stepped forward but it didn't mean he wasn't cautious of the leader.
Xiao Yi already had his palms connected as his body's posture looked tough and ready for any surprise attack that could come his way.
Zhao Luo looked back and gazed at the breathless bodies of the spies, two of which had faced their end by his swords.
Zhao Luo turned at the leader with resolute eyes.
"If I keep on walking this path, there will be more killing."
"And..."
"I AM READY FOR IT."
Zhao Luo finally sorted out his inner irritation and declared his decision.
"Bla, Bla, Bla."
The leader slowly raised his claws while taunting Zhao Luo and the others
"Are you four done with your bullshit?"
"And what? Path? Killing? Don't make me laugh. Just because I praised you by saying you are like me, I guess you took it to heart."
"If you want to kill then come at me and try it. So I can rip you all apart."
The leader spoke like a madman as he swung his left claw at them, inviting them to come at him.
"Let's go."
Zhao Luo told them in a confident voice as he started moving towards the leader of the spies.
"We will cover for you."
Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo and looked towards Pi Hao and Xiao Yu who nodded at him.
On his second step, Zhao Luo lowered his body and pushed his toes backward to push himself towards the leader.
"Half Walk."
In Pi Hao's eyes, Zhao Luo had disappeared from in front of him but Senior Cutie and Xiao Yu could barely keep up with his speed.
The next moment, and was blown away where the leader was standing.
"Dual Burst Slash."
Zhao Luo appeared right in front of the leader while bringing down his swords on his head.
"Hmph."
The leader simply swung his arm at Zhao Luo without batting an eye.
The leader had a cold look in his eyes as though he had been rejected without even confessing first.
'Clang, Clang.'
An instant later, Zhao Luo's Ifrit fell on the claw as he followed up with the dark blade of Blackey.
As the swords fell on the claw, Zhao Luo was shocked since the explosive force behind his swords was nullified without any effort.
"Is that all you got?"
The leader said coldly as he moved up his claw with a jerk, throwing Zhao Luo ten feet back.
'Thud.'
Senior Cutie who was coming behind Zhao Luo grabbed him and supported him.
"You okay?"
Xiao Yu asked Zhao Luo as he stepped in front of Zhao Luo.
"I am okay. But that guy isn't normal."
Zhao Luo slowly spoke out as he stared at his trembling hand.
The leader who was in front of them loosened his black cloth.
A tight gray robe that looked as if it was tightly wrapped around the leader's body was revealed.
"A woman."
Zhao Luo mumbled as he stared at the black shiny hair of the leader, whose face was still covered with a small piece of the same cloth that had fallen just now.
The leader was indeed a girl as her curves were easily perceivable through the grey tight robe that she was wearing.
"Little Brother, you are focused on the wrong thing."
Senior Cutie whispered to Zhao Luo whose eyes were glancing over the peaks.
*Cough*
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Luo replied just to hear the stuttering voice of Pi Hao.
"Her badge."
Listening to his voice, Zhao Luo stared at the upper part of the leader's chest.
"A level one 'II' bronze badge."
Zhao Luo realized that the leader in front of them was as strong as the inner disciple of their sect.
"Does it mean she can use internal energy?"
Zhao Luo questioned Senior Cutie.
"Indeed. That's why she was able to push you back so easily."
Senior Cutie hurriedly replied as the leader was doing her undressing of the upper cloth.
